LCM for 20 and 230

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 230?

Answer: LCM of 20 and 230 is 460

(Four hundred sixty)

Finding LCM for 20 and 230 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 20 and 230 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 20 and 230 is 10, so

LCM = (20 × 230) ÷ 10

LCM = 4600 ÷ 10

LCM = 460
